“They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, and the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.”

Reading this verse in context

This page shows one verse on its own, which is rarely how it was written. Revelation 17 contains 18 verses, and the sentences either side usually decide what this one means. Read the whole chapter before you quote it.
